My garden, my green heaven

My garden is like a piece of heaven to me. It is the place I frequent the most to. In fact, whenever I go missing, the first place that my family goes to look for me is my garden. During lockdown, when I couldn't meet my friends, I was fortunate to make new ones, the green ones. Since then, I have loved and enjoyed gardening. 

Currently, I have around 65 plants on my terrace itself. Who knew that the death of a plant can cause such unbearable pain, or the of a blooming flower offers is inexplicably wonderful? You may find it hard to believe but I can communicate with plants and even share all my feelings with them.

Tips for my fellow gardeners: Have the basic information about each plant you possess and its needs; Choose the right place for your plants to grow (depending on their own requirements); Ensure that they receive adequate sunlight, right amount of irrigation, and grow in the ideal type of soil (add manure).
